[Mister E]

I hesitate to ask but what has happened to Bennett?

Out with a back injury.......

[ADVILLAFAN]

Makes it tricky as I don't really like Clark or Baker playing at left-back and would rather we played Lowton and Bacuna at Full/Wing-Back.

On the other hand, I'd quite like Bacuna to play in attacking midfield or on the wing...

Not going tomorrow but my eldest son David is, he goes to about 6/7 league games a season and the poor bugger has not seen a win since the Scottish managers first home game against Blackburn (over two years ago) I am praying Villa will make him and the rest of us happy, 2-0 Villa please please please.

Hate to say it but i fear it  will be another match at home under this manager where we fail to win .A hard earned 1-1 draw

[Dio1874]

2-0 to the lions, Delph ( bout time he fookin scored) & wait for it a thunder bolt from tonev via a massive deflection on its way to the corner flag as usual!!!!!

[TopDeck113]

Need to win. Think we will. 2-0.

[Lastfootstamper]

I wonder how many minutes will be on the clock before we lose a defender through injury

Even before I set off tomorrow I know that the highlight of the day will be the after match balti !!!
Hoping for a decent win but just looking at our squad leaves me underwhelmed. Odds on that Whittingham will have a stormer.

I had a season ticket last year and this. I've missed a handful of games in that time but realised  this week I haven't seen us win a league game since Reading which must be nearly 12 months ago. Could do with some cheer tomorrow.

That happened to me!  one win later though as I saw us beat Wigan a few weeks later.
Then I missed us beating Norwich and Fulham. So the next time I saw us win at home was
West Ham the following season! and I'd been to something like 8/9 games in between.
Including that Bolton game.

I basically didn't see us win a home game in 2012.  (Fulham, Reading and Swansea.)

This year though I've seen us win five times! Ipswich, West Ham, QPR, Sunderland, and Man city.
I'll be a little sad when 2013 ends.

I'm selling outside the Trinity Road gates tomorrow. Please feel free to come along and say hello. Even if you don't need to buy the fanzine as I'll have a Movember collection tin and would really appreciate ANY small change you might have in the region of 1p, 2p and/or even 5p!

I'll be on the zebra-crossing in-between the Church and the park after the game aswell.

Before, mate. Afterwards I'm down the side-streets.
